Messages of level 'info' are shown as 'error' in error log

[Sudheer Kalla]

Hi All,

Iam using apache server and I have the following lines in my code.

--------------

import logging

LOG = logging.getLogger(__name__)
msg = "This is level info"
LOG.info(msg) 

--------------


Here the message "This is level info" must come in level 'info' in the apache2/error.log
But I get the message in file "apache2/error.log" as follows:


[Thu Apr 02 12:57:59 2015] [error] This is level info


Since the message is logged with LOG.info it is expected to be of class [info]
Please provide us a solution.

Thank you in advance!

Iam using python

You forgot to say which Apache version you're using. It's also not clear which errors elicit this message: all errors, "info"-class errors only, or everything from "info" on up --or "info" on down.

:: detour to check levels so I don't have to look them up again ::

emerg
alert
crit
error
warn
notice
info
debug

Try a simple test, please. Add another three-line block, duplicating the one you've got. But this time replace the word "info" with something else such as "warn" or "notice".

I've got a lurking suspicion that the problem is actually something entirely different from what it appears to be, but that part will have to wait for someone who speaks Apache.

The following is the version of apache
Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)

All levels of classes(info,warn,crit,alert..etc) are logged as [error] in the error log.

Yes, but do they all come with the text string "This is info" or "This is warn"?

Not sure why this is happening but I usually find it easier to have python log to a separate file. Then the logs aren't mixed with apache errors. You can do this by adding a syslog or file handler. This might also fix the issue of the log level being wrong since python is writing it directly.

handler = logging.FileHandler('/var/log/myapp/myapp.log')
logger.addHandler(handler)

welcome to WebmasterWorld, Sudheer Kalla!

But this time replace the word "info" with something else such as "warn" or "notice".

or try using

LOG.log(info,msg)

instead and see if that works.
